Canadian Film Digest Year Book (1980)

eae CSC Members of the Society are active participants at meetings of the Academy of Canadian Cinema, the CFDC and other groups within the film community. The Society founded the magazine “Canadian Cinematography” which later became Cinema Canada”, now published independently. Through meetings held on the first Monday of each month, September through May, the executive strives to have interestIng and informative discussions on current and new equipment, new techniques and problems that may affect professional cinematographers. Several members are instructors at universities and colleges across Canada and the Society periodically Organizes special classes for assistant cameramen and others intereste din learning the essentials of cinematography. By active and financial support to the CSC, professional cinematographers are able to make their collective voices heard when problems arise in the film industry and possibly find mutually acceptable remedy. Each year the CSC holds an awards function and trophies are presented to members only in the following categories: Feature/TV Drama CSC Award Documentary CSC Award TV Commercials CSC Award Student Films Plaque News Roy Tash Award In addition, and not necessarily each year, the Bill Hillson Award (a miniature Arriflex) is presented to a member of the CSC who has performed outstanding service to the Society or has made a special contribution to the art of cinematography. Also, members have won international recognition and awards including the coveted ‘Oscar’. MEMBERSHIP Membership in the CSC is divided into the folowing categories: Affiliate Membership The applicant must be professionally employed as an assistant cameraman or camera operator or be active in a field directly related to cinematography such as teaching or studying cinematography at a recognized Canadian institution of learning. Affiliate members have no voting privileges and are not permitted to serve on the board of directors. They have the right, and are encouraged to attend, all membership meetings and may serve on committees. Associate Membership The applicant must be professionally employed as a cinematographer or camera operator for a period of at least three years. Teachers of cinematography may be considered for this category provided they have sufficient previous practical experience. Affiliate applicants must be in good standing. Full Membership The applicant must be professionally employed as a cinematographer for a period of at least ten years and must also be fully qualified to assume the responsibilities of Director of Photography. Alternatively, the applicant must have to his credit, exceptional achievement as a cinematographer. Only full members are entitled to use the initials ‘CSC’ after their names on screen credits, correspondence and stationery. Full membership is not automatically acquired after ten years nor does the ten-year limit always apply. Full membership is granted only after the membership committee has screened an applicant’s film examples which must show an ability to light interiors and exhibit a high standard of excellence. Full membership applications are reviewed once annually and are granted only upon unanimous approval of the board of directors. Associate applicants must be in good standing.
